NOBLE BENEFACTION.


The bequest recently left by wealthy
resident of Peru to found school for poor
girls in New York deserves to rank above
the noblest benefactions of modern times.
1t is only, however. by allowing the
trustees of the fund the fullest discretion
in its management and in their taking a
radically new departure from the estab-
lished school system that the beQuest, mag
nificent though it be. can be made to ac-
complish its greatest usefulness. If it is util
lied simply to found an exclusive school on
the plan of the New York public institu-
tons of the kind it might as well have
never been left. The New York schools
are as good as any of their kind in the
country, with the exception perhaps of the
Boston schools. and, in the ordinary course
of things. furnish as good an education as any
young man or young woman not overam-
bilious might desire. 1t is because of the
fact that the poor Young women of the
metropolis. with the necessity Of support
ing themselves and possibly others, cannot
attend the regular schools, that the South
American bequest contains great POSSIBLE
ties. 1t should be used to maintain an
educational institution open at such hours
as will best accommodate the working
women and its course of study should en-
brace all studies included in the curriculum of
the public schools, with the addition of such
other subjects as experience might suggest.
Handled in that way the fund will be what
twas intended to be-a boon to the poor
girls of the country'S greatest city.

BAR. Their.
Place of Observation
INTERSTATE COMMISSION.

Now that Judge COOLEY has been ap-
pointed chairman Of the interstate commits
S on. all expressions of opinion con-
corning the operation of the law
made before his appointment possess great
significance. When, week or two ago, he
was asked his opinion concerning the atti-
tude the railroad companies were taking
toward the new law Judge COOLEY said he
thought they We're making mistake.
While they were constantly declaring
their intention to fully comply with
tie new law. he said that he
found they were in reality combining
their efforts to searching for loopholes by
which they could evade the law. This in.
dicates that the distinguished chairman of
the commission realizes that the new inter-
state commerce commission will be con-
fronted at the very outset with the hostility
of the most powerful interest of the corn-
trt. 1t is fortunate for the public interests
that the commission is apprised of this fact
and will not be duped into a false sense of
security by the assumed cheerful compli-
ance of the railway companies. 1t is prob
able that the president had the same
mssloners. Mr.. CLEVELAND has demon
strated that lie is good Judge of men, and
has shown wonderful discrimination in
selecting men with peculiar qualifications
for the places they were to fill. 1t was
known that III appointing the interstate
commerce commission he was anxious to
select men who would command the conf
dence OF the public, as we'll as of the rail-
roads; men of broad views, liberal ideas,
judicial minds. and men who were above
partisan influences. That he has succeeded
most admirably in accomplishing his desire
IL this respect the character of the men
whom he has selected fully demonstrates.
Judge COOLEY has already given evidence
of his ability to resist the Establishments of
railway magnates. His career as receiver
of the Wabash system has demonstrated to
Mr.. GouLD's mind that COOLEY is not a
man to be warped in his opinions by extra
neous Influences. Mr.. MoRRIsoN's long
career in congress has shown him to be a
man who follows the dictates of conscience
with loyalty that at times almost amounts
TO faulty. When he thinks he is right on
proposition there is nothing can seduce
aim to turn either to the right or to the left.
Congressman BRAGG, of Alabama. is known
also to be man of intieXible integrity, as
well as lawyer OF high attainments The
OTHER two members of the commission have
rot As extensive national reputation as
their colleagues, yet they are known to
possess ali the qualifications to fit them fol
the important posts to which they have been
assigned. The most gratifying feature of i,
all is that the new law is going to have q
fair trial under the administration of the
new commission.

in the state. This is characteristic of Re-

In the state. This is characteristic of Re.
publican reform methods. and, as we have
heretofore said, it creates no surprise in
the public mind. But it is a matter of
public surprise that the charge of forgery
should be coupled with the passage of this
Ubiquitous bill. The charge is preferred by
the editor of the Herald. who was a mem
Der of the state senate and who ought to
know whereof he speaks. The title of the
bill reads, "a bill to relieve settlers and
others from the payment of certain back
taxes" The charge is that the words land
others" We're nterpolated after the bill had
been passed by the legislature. The Her
aid alleges that an examination of the
records shows that the words We're not in
the bill when introduced in the house. nor
when sent to the senate, nor was there any
amendment of the title made in either
branch of the legislature. The interpolated
words appear in the engrossed bill on file
in the office of the secretary of state.
and now the question is, who had
the authority to put them there. This is a
matter that deserves investigation. A law
is law only when it receives the sanction
OF both branches of the legislature and only
in the exact form that it passed that body.
There is too much Sanctity attached to law
to permit irresponsible persons to tamper
with it. Nothing can be added to nor de-
tracted from statute after it has passed
the legislature. If the facts exist as they
are alleged in this connection it is the duty
OF the governor and the attorney general to
institute an investigation and have the
guilty parties brought 10 justice.

~s*
1t is not always pleasant to hold post-mor-
tens or deal out lot of "reminiscences, but
the GLOBE will be excused ut this late day for
taxing the liberty of vindicating Itself. IL
has never taken the trouble to do so hereto
lore. During the last campaign, while al
most every paper In the state was asserting
that II. G. Stordock, Of Wikin county, was to
be one OF the new railroad commissioners i'm
the event of McGill's election-the
latter, it was alleged, having pledged
him the appontment-the GLoBE' an
nounced that Stordock was not TO be
member of the commission, but that he was
TO get the pehitentiary wardenship. This
aroused storm of denial and ridicule, and
was generally regarded as IL canard. Mr..
Stordock himself wrote card TO the GLOBE
denying that he had been promised anything.
Later events have proven everything the
GLOBE stated. There is 10 doubt that at one
time Stordock was booked for raili Dad COM
missionership, but McGil found himself in
deep water with his pledges and had to make
shift. This "scrap of history" is printed
simply to show how the politicians wire in
and wire out, leaving the people still in doubt
but without fooling the GLOBE.

Chicago Bucket Shops.

Chicago Mail.
The biggest winning made in any OF the
bucket shops in single day during this
pork corner has been S13. 500. There have
been bigger stories told. but the manager
of the biggest bucket shop here gave these
figures to the writer yesterday. He knows
whereof he speaks, for private wire
encircles all these shops, and they are as
closely allied as the pool rooms are in the
height of the racing season. 1t has been
run wide open" in this pork deal
as they have, and their courage probably
has been due largely to the fact that they
were as much in the dalk over the corner as
anybody else. They were not able to settle
definitely that there was corner. So long
as they were in that frame of mind they did
not hesitate to take any bets that anybody
wanted to offer, for the buckets shop theories
are that because man thinks he knows
thing is no reason why he does. and that
man with pointer is not nearly so danger
GUS character as he thinks he is.
1t there was a faro bank that gave out
publicly that it would allow anybody to bet
anything from $50 to $40, 900 on the turn
of card, it would attract gamblers from
all over creation. In fact. house that adj
vertises that it will let a man bet $3.50 on
the turn of card is considered shining
mark among the profession ais. But so
far the large bucket shops in this city have
actually allowed their customers 10 bet
any sum-S1O. 900 if they so desire-on the
course of pork; and the worst slap any of
them has gotten so far has been the loss of
$3.50 to lucky gambler.
On that day (Monday) that shop lost
N lnsc
was not comparable to tie ones it received
last November when the whole list of stocks
at New York was advancing. In single
day in that month the same concern which

Baron Zedwitz, the military attache of

thing in regimentals there. His light-blue
coat, his tight. white breeehes, and his
beautiful patent-leather boots made one

came to aigrets, and loops, and cords and
frogs, and medals, any American
bandmaster would die with envy. He car
ried helmet that with its white horse-tail
is as large as a beehive, and it fills his arm
like debntante's biggest bouquet. His
patent-leather boots that reach up over his
knees do not look like real warfare or even
riding academy practice, and the ferocious-
looking silver spurs that ring unsteady
every time he sets his foot down in the de-
cisive Prussian marching step have no points

pieces of silver, and warn the wearers of

every member feels that whether success or

The recent legislature has met with much

AT least, so far as the local press is con-
cerned, it is O case of the kettle calling the
pot black. Had there been real, united
sentiment expressed by the papers through

the lawmakers at St. Paul. None but the
farmers of this state, who didn't ask for APP

to criticise the defunct Lawmakers.

not have reached half the number of people.
